Alex was resting after being busy with all sorts of missions and stuff, taking a break from everything.

But he was disturbed by the voices of everyone who seemed excited for some reason. So, he stood up from his bed and decided to check up on them.

Joining the others downstairs, Alex saw that everyone was in a very festive mood.

'Ah, yeah, I almost forget about the festival. What is it called?... Forget it, I cannot remember anyway.'

Everyone else was still dressed fine except for Yami who for some weird unknown reason was draped in a simple robe over a traditional Japanese undergarment for males, and a twisted Japanese headband tied in the front. He was also carrying an uchiwa. The fan and the back of the robe bear the kanji that read 'Festival', and the linings of his robe bear the kanji for 'raging bull'.

It looked so weird and out of place for some reason.

And if the outfit was not enough, Yami's mood was also a little out of place, seeming very positive.

Alex's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably and he sighed while face-palming himself.

"ASTA!!"

Just when he stepped into the living room, everyone called out to him excitedly.

"What?" Alex raised his eyebrow and asked.

"You excited for your first festival?" Vanessa asked.

Alex smiled at her. "My first festival? You do know that I've been to the festival before right?"

"Yeah, but not as a magic knight." Magna patted his shoulder and said.

Well, Alex couldn't retort about that since the guy was right about that.

They chatted a little and waited until everyone was ready before Finral finally opened up a portal to the festival location.

"Let's go!!" Yami exclaimed charging ahead...

It was the evening, and the sun was beginning to set. All of the Black Bull members finally arrived at the festival.

They saw many things; people singing, and dancing, fish in colored water, masks, etc.

The last time Alex had ever been to something relatively like this was when he was a kid, back on Earth.

Taking a look around, reminded him of when he was a kid, the time when his mother was alive and he was just an ignorant kid living happily.

His eyes flashed with a rare warmth, a smile tracing his lips before it disappeared, and his eyes hid a deep pain in them.

The feeling only lasted for a few seconds before he returned back to normal, looking at the festival.

"Alright, you party animals!" Yami yelled drawing their attention. "The rank announcement starts at 8, so go wild until then!!"

"YES SIR!!" Everyone saluted before running off.

Vanessa and Charmy disappeared into the crowd, running towards the stalls with wine and food.

Alex grabbed Noelle's hand and pulled her along.

Noelle was startled by his action, raising her head to look at him, asking for an answer but he just smiled and brought her along.

They didn't have to go too far and saw two familiar faces standing in the crowd beside Finral.

"Kahono! Kiato!" Noelle yelled once she saw them. She instantly broke free from his hands and leaped into a hug with Kahono who was also overjoyed to meet Noelle.

Alex walked over and patted Finral's shoulder, smiling. "Thank you, Finral-senpai."

"Haha, it's just a small favor. Don't mind it!... Now, I'm going to look for some cute girls. Yahoo~..." Finral gave him a thumb-up and instantly disappeared into the crowd, searching for some girls to flirt with.

"So this is what a festival on land looks like. Thanks for inviting us, Asta!" Kiaoto smiled while Kahono nodded furiously, looking around everything with curious eyes.

"Haha, it's no big deal~" Alex smiled at them.

"Asta?"

While he was chatting with Kiaoto, Kahono walked over and called out, her expression was a little weird, different from her usual cheerful and happy attitude.

"I'm sorry for the last time. I was a little rude to you..." Kahono bowed and apologized.

Alex tilted his head in confusion before he remembered. "Ah, that... Hehe... no need for this. I already forget about that."

"This guy here didn't take such things to heart at all." Noelle giggled and patted Kahono's shoulder, cheering her.

Alex also laughed. "Yeah, she is right. And also I didn't explain the situation to you clearly so your behavior was completely justified, okay?"

"What do you mean?" Kaito asked curiously. he had learned the crux of the situation from his sister so hearing that there was more than what's meet the eye from Alex, he asked quickly.

Alex smiled and explained. "Do you guys remember that third eye on that Vetto's guy head? It was actually a Forbidden magic. But the problem is that magic enhances the negative emotions of the user in return for the boost in their power. It will purposely increase the hate and anger in their heart... So, when I kill that guy, I want to put him out of his misery since he will be tormented by those negative emotions for who knows how long..."

"Ahh, I don't know that... It seems you did a good job then." Kahono covered her mouth in shock since she never realized that magic had such consequences.

"Lalala~..."

While they were chatting, their conversation was interrupted by a melodious voice.

The group of teenagers looked to the side and saw a woman singing while playing a lute and riding a magic carpet.

Kahono's eyes sparkled when she saw her.

Alex patted her shoulder and urged her. "Hehe... don't you want to sing in front of a crowd? Go on, now you have a chance to show your beautiful voice."

Kahono felt a warmth welling up in her heart and she smiled at him, blushing lightly.

She then turned towards the people enjoying the festival and took a deep breath before a melodious and soul-soothing voice originated from her throat.

Kahono sang a euphonious tune, attracting everyone's attention towards herself, enjoying singing in front of so many people.

"Wonderful!"

"What a beautiful voice!"

"What amazing singing!"

Multiple voices of praise rang out, complimenting the young woman from the Underwater Temple for her unique and charming voice.

The four of them were enjoying the festival when Kahono had a weird idea and she proposed a double date to the group.

For some reason, Kiato was in favor of it.

Alex stared at the young man and sighed, shaking his head.

'I am sorry, man. But you are late... This noble little girl belongs to me. Hehe~..."
